    I’m from Oahu and currently live in NY. I miss Hawaiii and my favorite comfort foods there. Sure, there’s Hawaiian cuisine here but it don’t match up to Hawaii. Poke, katsu, miso butterfish, Japanese, filipino, Hawaiian, Chinese and Korean cuisine is just bomb!!! U can’t beat the freshness and big portions anywhere. Along with the weather and chill atmosphere. Hawaii cuisine is just bomb!!!!
    Your video informs me of new or old places to try when I come to visit. Kalihi has great eateries which is one of my favorite areas. Actually, any area of Oahu has ono grinds.

      Aloha Risa from Oahu to New York! Awww I'm sure there's amazing pizza in New York but I agree. Hard to compete with Hawaii Food. And Kalihi has some of the best eateries. Just my opinion. Mahalo for watching 👍🤙

    First time in Honolulu Hawaii as of 06/02/23
    My Husband has tried 2/10 places here in Honolulu Hawaii right now you recommended. My husband absolutely loved the Fresh catch (it's a little spicy but good) and we also tried Kjs fried chicken and he said it was very flavorful. So far your recommendations are very very spot on and honestly you should be a tour guide here! We give your ratings a 10/10! Love love love!

      Aloha Journey to Above!! Please tell your husband we said hi and I hope you enjoy all the local foods. fresh Catch in my experience can be a hit or miss (mostly good hits) but it's def different and KJs is always on the ball!:):) Please try all the other local foods and I'm okay with being a virtual guide but if you see us in person, would enjoy saying hi to you and your husband. Have a great rest of your trip on Oahu👍🤙😋
